[PATCH 3.16 231/306] kbuild: Steal gcc's pie from the very beginning

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Wed Feb 15 2017 - 18:15:29 EST


3.16.40-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

commit c6a385539175ebc603da53aafb7753d39089f32e upstream.

So Sebastian turned off the PIE for kernel builds but that was too late
- Kbuild.include already uses KBUILD_CFLAGS and trying to disable gcc
options with, say cc-disable-warning, fails:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs
...
-Wno-sign-compare -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -Wframe-address -c -x c /dev/null -o .31392.tmp
/dev/null:1:0: error: code model kernel does not support PIC mode

because that returns an error and we can't disable the warning. For
example in this case:

KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-disable-warning,frame-address,)

which leads to gcc issuing all those warnings again.

So let's turn off PIE/PIC at the earliest possible moment, when we
declare KBUILD_CFLAGS so that cc-disable-warning picks it up too.

Also, we need the $(call cc-option ...) because -fno-PIE is supported
since gcc v3.4 and our lowest supported gcc version is 3.2 right now.
